That was supposed to be ironic :-) maybe I should have said: most of the
people *postting* here! I agree with you when you say there were enough
reviews for now (guess that saying this will be like try to mop up a
lake with handkerchief!). I can't see what it brings to read more, I
can't make myself an opinion like this I'll have to hear it first.

Lucky you, I have only seen Queen in play back at Montreux, better than
nothing and it was my first concert... But I digress, I've never see the
Zep live either and that's just why I love the live tapes. Quality wise
they're not perfect of course but with a bit of Imagination and knowing
what a concert is like I could figure what a Led Zeppelin concert must
have been like. Yes it's not the real thing but it's the closest I could
get and I appreciate it. Having seen a few videos from the early days as
well, I can say that, IMHO, there never was a band with such power both
musically and from the presence of the musicians. Shar (I hope you let
go of your tongue by now :->) just summed this up in her mail about the
way Robert could handle a crowd. If you listen, or watch carefully it
shows, even on the baddest quality tape, it's not just the music that
made Led Zep so big, it's the way they used it to communicate with
people. If you read my reviews on the last tour (clever way of getting
you to do so!) you can see I felt that a lot of this power is still
preserved.
